Came across this site whilst doing a little research for my nephew who may be immigrating to the US soon.

Seems quite informative (& up to date) on the laws & rules of various States, I was looking specifically at S.Carolina & the information provided seemed very comprehensive.

the above link gives an overview for each State, then you can click on the "main article" to get very detailed info for each State. Including the specific law references! Excellent website for information!

Enjoy!

Here's the "full" entry for Michigan

In Ohio all private sales are off the books. Federal law states private sales can only happen between residents of the state in which the sale occurs. That goes for hand guns and long guns.

 

All commercial sales must go through an FFL and a form 4473 must be filled out and either called into NICS or the NICS check can be waived if the buyer has an Ohio CCW issued after a specific date(don't remember what date). No waiting period unless NICS delays the transfer. If NICS delays, they have 48 hrs to approve or deny. If NICS does not approve or deny the transfer withing 48 hrs the FFL has the option to go through with the transfer or cancel the transfer.

 

The whole thing about only being able to buy long guns form contiguous states is done. It was part of the 1968 Gun Control Act(GCA) but was amended in 1986 to remove the contiguous state limitations AS LONG AS NEITHER STATE INVOLVED IN THE SALE HAS ANY RESTRICTIONS ON SAID SALE. Your state may still limit long gun transfers to contiguous states or even deny transfers from any other state, but federal law does not.
